The layout at the raceway is easy enough to visualize without a map. It consists of an 80-acre plot of land with an auto raceway carved into its central plateau. This has got high rolling ground on three sides — these sides where were the earliest autos parked — and a low bowl-like fourth area on the side nearest the highway. The latter was where the stage was set up, since it afforded the greatest line of sight, line of hearing potential for the greatest number of people. By night, with only some 5,000 people milling around the interior section, it seemed to stretch on forever. It was hard to imagine that it could ever be totally filled with people, as far as the eye could see looking out from the stage. The Maysles] relied for their effects on molding found material, not spending time and money -- which they didn’t have much of at Altamont anyway -- devising a reality 'spectacular'." Michael Sragow, " "Gimme Shelter": The true story". Salon, August 10, 2000.I think at one point we might have walked off stage, but that would have been a disaster. We just had to carry on and play the best we could. We played longer than we would have done because we had to keep stopping all the time. We still did a complete show. We must have been on stage for about an hour-and-a-half. It seemed like ages. The stage should be located in an area likely to be completely surrounded by people and their vehicles. But he had been hired to help the Stones manage their tour. He was part of their management at the time of the Altamont “party.”

This includes manufacturing defects and normal wear and tear with the exceptions of seams, stitching, fabric and zip tape. The one-day thing sets up the fact that you gotta enjoy yourself, you know? Like you’re there and gettin’ sorta hard-pressed and it’s gettin’ later and later, and you gotta go home — and we can’t hear anything — well, let’s push our way up there and maybe we can hear a little bit and maybe see somebody and —” Candy Sue Johnson, 22, of Oakland and James McDonald, 21, of Santa Cruz both suffered head and internal injuries in that hit-and-run. Both were hospitalized, and Candy’s infant child, who was with her but not injured, was put in the custody of Candy’s parents in Oakland. Stones’ manager Allen Klein, belatedly worried about what had gone down, phoned Rolling Stone‘s San Francisco offices to try to get specific details as to who, in the Stones contingent, had been responsible for making which arrangements. Specifically, Klein was asking for almost a blow-by-blow account of the planning, because he felt assured he’d need that for the legal difficulties that loom for the Stones.The attorney for the Stones (and friends), Melvin Belli, was handling all his legal arrangements, he said.

But it was Angels chief Sonny Barger who laid down the single most fascinating (if not illuminating) rap on KSAN’s entire special.

[+] Angels beat a fan with pool cues at the Altamont Free Concert, Altamont Speedway, California, 6th December 1969. The concert was headlined and organized by The Rolling Stones.

Do you understand that? That’s our whole thing. Now if these people asked us to do this thing, we did it. What are we supposed to do? We ain’t cops. We’re not into that thing. We decide to do somethin’, it’s done, no matter how far we have to go to do it.” A photographer who’d taken part in the Chicago demonstrations during the Democratic Party Convention felt the Chicago cops had been both more together when it came to applying force, and more reasonable.They finish “Under My Thumb.” Then get into a new song they’ve never performed in public before: “Brown Sugar.” It goes well. Beautifully, in fact. The Stones are making miraculous music, despite everything.

Yeah, because there was nothing else. Then I walked away feeling, wanting to do something, wanting to tell somebody what happened so they could get the Hell’s Angels. It scared me so much I couldn’t do anything . . . it really put me on such a big bummer . . . really, for days. For the last couple of days I’ve been really brought down about it. Carlos Santana, lead guitarist for Santana, the afternoon’s first band, watched the fighting breaking out in front of him during Santana’s set. At any rate, the cops have no suspects in the murder, or they haven’t announced any. Detectives seem most interested in determining exactly who hired the Angels, which raises the possibility that if some Angels do eventually stand trial for murder, Cutler and Scully will share the guilt as accessories.

The film Gimme Shelter was criticized by Pauline Kael, Vincent Canby and other reviewers for portraying the Stones too sympathetically, and for staging a concert for the sole reason that it could be filmed, despite all the problems leading up to it. Salon's Michael Sragow, writing in 2000, said many of the critics took their cues from the Rolling Stone review, which heavily blamed the filmmakers for being part of a "staged event" so that the Rolling Stones could profit from making a "concert" film. Sragow pointed out numerous errors in the Rolling Stone coverage and added that the Maysles did not make "major motion pictures" in the traditional way; instead, a variety of factors contributed to the tragedy. [40] the repair expenses or a replacement product (of identical or equivalent value) if your product is beyond repair; and It ends with “Street Fighting Man,” a great performance of it, an unfortunate selection, considering what kind of day it’s been. Why Saturday’s episode? I suspect it is because, just as their parents 25 years ago thought America was full of Comanches scalping stagecoach riders and Capone gangsters shooting passers-by on Chicago streets, Jagger and Cutler think San Francisco is the Hell’s Angels and the Pranksters since those are the ones who went to London last year and first broached the idea of the Stones playing free here. Nearly half a century later, it's automatic to think of Altamont as the end of something. Yet it now looks like the beginning of something too: a world in which the aggression of the self, on the part of just about everybody, would be given a new licence. The '60s, after all, are long gone, and perhaps they really did die that day. But the violence and chaos that ruled at Altamont don't look trapped in the past. They look all too present.
